Uesugi Kiyoshi is quite good at learning, but he is not very happy to use his brain.

Especially some complicated things of intrigue, he has always stayed away.

But that doesn't mean he won't do it.

In Akutagawa Ryunosuke's words just now, there were a lot of points that puzzled him.

He tapped his fingers and asked a little puzzled, "So, who is our gold master?" ”

"Forget it, let me ask in another way, what are the regulations of the Collectibles Association's funds?"

Akutagawa Ryunosuke straightened his face, and he didn't make any fuss, and explained directly: "You're not very interested in this, so I haven't told you before, so it's okay to talk about it now." ”

"The Collectibles Society is not small, and there is a huge funding gap to maintain the armed forces and the research funds of the True-Knowers."

"My family and Kudo's family will invest some of the money, but it's just a drop in the bucket."

"More of the money needed to maintain the association comes from other places."

"[The headquarters] will send a symbolic little bit every year, although it is not much, but it is better than nothing."

"There are also government agencies, some middle-level chaebols, political parties, and even gangsters, who will come to us for help when they encounter problems that cannot be solved, and they are all paid."

"At least in Tokyo, we have a good reputation and reputation."

"This piece of income accounts for a significant share of our annual income."

"The rest is chaebol investment - have you ever seen a TV series or variety show charge for title advertising, or a monopolistic transaction?"

"Actually, it's similar to that, we collect a large amount of money from the Phoenix Academy every year, and then sell some of the transcendent artifacts produced by the association, that is, the Horcruxes, to the Phoenix Academy's chaebol."

"Of course, what do they do with those things, we don't care, this is just a transaction, thanks to the technical support of the headquarters, in terms of the research of transcendent weapons, the association is the top level in China."

"At the same time, we will share some of the research materials of the prophets with the Phoenix Court chaebol."

"In the end, we will give priority to completing the commission of the Phoenix Court chaebol, and refuse the commission of the Phoenix Court chaebol's enemies, and if necessary, we will also help them clear some troubles on the transcendent level."

"So, the little young master of the Phoenix Courtyard asked me to solve a little trouble for him, and I agreed without thinking about it, this kind of thing is too common."

"Although the Phoenix Courtyard family is our financial master, in fact, we are a cooperative relationship."

Uesugi sneered.

"Heh, it seems that in the eyes of those chaebol lords, we are not their partners."

Ryunosuke Akutagawa may have recurred from an old injury, grinning in pain, and when he heard this, he frowned and said, "What do you mean... They want to take us..."

Uesugi Kiyoshi waved his sleeves and clenched his fist fiercely.

"Do you need to ask? Accept it as a dog. ”

His expression was sarcastic, but not surprising.

Now his thinking pattern has changed a little, but he is the uncrowned king of Kanto, the former lord of a hundred ghosts, and the existence of the sword suppressing Heiankyo, although the scale of the territory is a little insignificant, but at least he is a prince.

He is good at thinking from the perspective of the superior.

As mentioned earlier, Japan is a chaebol country.

And the top six chaebols have gathered more than 90 percent of the country's wealth.

They stand at the top of the pyramid of the country.

It was like this.

But imagine that.

This is not an ordinary world like Kiyoshi Uesugi's previous life, where there are no supernatural powers.

Here, there is the "extraordinary".

And this transcendence is a threshold that is difficult for mortals to cross, and it is a barrier that is beyond the reach of financial resources and power.

Cultivators, connectors, and true knowers all need a certain degree of qualification support, while the mystical ones, who are always in the company of madness and despair, are not a clear path.

Under this premise, even if he is born with a golden spoon, if he does not have the corresponding talent, he will not be able to touch the transcendent portal in his life.

This is not a very happy thing, in fact, under the pressure of this rule, the contradiction between the transcendent and the human is inevitably in the making.

Uesugi is idle and has nothing to do in the information library of Li Fuyao's Baiwen Museum and the Collectibles Association, and he is not the same novice as he was when he was about extraordinary history.

Leaving aside everything else, let's just talk about the history of Japan, after the Heian period, until the Warring States period, there was a long period of peace.

In the history books of this period, although it is not a song and dance, there are few traces of extraordinary time, and there is no scene of demons dancing in the Heian period.

But in the Warring States period, some signs emerged.

Some heroes and demons reappeared in the world, tearing the earth as kings, separating and governing, the common people were caught in the flames of war, and the people were not able to make a living.

During this period, there were ghosts, gods and monsters ready to move, making waves.

Fortunately, this troubled era did not last long, and the long reign of the Tokugawa shogunate followed.

In Uesugi Kiyoshi's view, it seems that there is a "flashpoint" in the timeline.

Ghosts and gods reappear as the "flashpoint" of the world.

From the Heian period to the Warring States period, it was about 500 years.

And the Warring States period, to this day, is about 500 years.

Just like the information Uesugi Kiyoshi got.

In recent years, Japan has not been stable, and various extraordinary disasters have emerged one after another, and the Extraordinary Organization has also come into being, but this is not a cure.

Therefore, the chaebol, which had never experienced the invasion of ghosts and gods before, and sat firmly in the leading position, suddenly experienced a change in thinking.

They found that in addition to the world they knew, there were more, more terrifying things coveting this time, and they were like helpless little beasts, in front of the ghosts and gods, they were fish on the chopping board, and they could only be slaughtered.

Money and power will not save them.

Then, at this time, their mentality must change.

No one likes to put their lives in the hands of others.

Using the resources at hand to create a path for mortals to become "extraordinary" is an idea that Uesugi Kiyoshi can easily come up with.

In addition, transcendents are also human.

People always have weaknesses.

So why not take advantage of those weaknesses and turn the transcendent into lackeys?

The plutocracy is the best at doing this kind of thing.

In Uesugi Kiyoshi's mind, what Ryunosuke Akutagawa encountered may have been just a temptation.

They're testing the reaction of the Collectibles Society, they're testing the bottom line of the organization.

The Phoenix Academy family understands the collectibles association, after all, it is a partner, so compared to those large organizations with a long history rooted in Kyoto, the collectibles association that has risen in the cracks and is still immature, and knows the roots, which is naturally a good goal.

If you swallow your anger this time, I'm afraid the next thing will be even worse.

Thinking about this, Uesugi Kiyoshi was already like frost.

He sneered and muttered to himself.

"This is to see that we are easy to bully, and the persimmon picks a soft pinch?"

"You're not pinching persimmons, you're pinching stones!"

"Be careful to smash your head and bleed!"
